How do we Reflect our Spirituality?
Dear friends, the theme of this week 175 of #HiveOpenmic invites us to reflect our spirituality. How do we reflect our spirituality? Do we have same reflection of spirituality? Do our spiritualities have a common goal or purpose? What is the aim or purpose of our spirituality? By the way, what is spirituality? I have been asking litany of questions and I still feel like asking more. However, let us understand the concept of spirituality before exploring how we reflect our spiritualities. Spirituality is the quality of being concerned with the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things.
"the shift in priorities allows us to embrace our spirituality in a more profound way". From the above understanding, spirituality entails taking more care of the soul than the body. Put differently, a spiritual person is more concerned with the soul than the physical body or material things . As a result of this, he pays attention to spiritual realities through meditation, prayers, reading of Holy books, watching of holy pictures and movies, doing good works, singing of spiritual songs, listening to God's words, etc. From the preceding, we can say that true spirituality entails care of ones soul and that of others. However, there are other forms of spiritualities within the circular world where certain people get emersed in evil cultic practices and dirty ways of life. Some people take had drugs and alcohol and they claim to be boosting or highing their spirits. In other words, the reflection of their spirituality is found in hard drugs, alcohol and promiscuous life. This is a false way of reflecting ones spirituality. True spirituality is reflected through meditating on holy things, prayers, fasting, almsgiving, singing of holy sings etc. All of thses are done to project the all Holy, all mighty and all great God who is the source and summit of our spiritual life.
As I reflect my spirituality by singing and playing a spiritual song, I hope you find some meaning relating with my entry. The title of the song is how great though art
Lyrics
Oh Lord, my God
When I, in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
And when I think that God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration
And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
